Backed by Indian interests, Transworld Group is best known for its containership fleet operated under the banners Orient Express Lines (OEL) and Shreyas Shipping & Logistics. At the group’s headquarters in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone sits Ritesh Ramakrishnan, part of the new generation of this largely family-owned group who are rising up through the ranks.
Young and smartly dressed, Ramakrishnan joined Transworld in 2010, shortly after graduating from Purdue University with an MSc in logistics, and is widely tipped to be next in line for the top spot at the company.
